Next Saturday, BBC America presents the latest nature documentary series from the Planet Earth team, presented by Sir David Attenborough: Dynasties, which will be simulcast on three other sister networks from the dynasty owning BBC America and other cable outlets. It’s certainly worth waiting for, but in the meantime, BBC America sets the table, all this week, by holding a mega-marathon of reruns of the various editions of the magnificent Planet Earth franchise. The food-chain action start

AFC DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF: INDIANAPOLIS COLTS VS. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS By David Bianculli

The Kansas City Chiefs are the top seed in the AFC, and have home-field advantage. Unfortunately, for this key divisional playoff against the Indianapolis Colts, the weather forecast is for up to six inches of snow to fall before game time. The game itself is predicted to be less bombarded by snow, but there will be bombardment from the skies regardless. Chiefs QB sensation Patrick Mahomes had more than 5,000 yards passing during the regular season, and Colts QB Andrew Luck had more than 4,500.

NFC DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF: DALLAS COWBOYS VS. LOS ANGELES RAMS By David Bianculli

The Seattle Seahawks almost pulled off an amazing comeback last week against the Dallas Cowboys, but a well-timed defensive play stripped the ball and handed the Cowboys the literally last-minute victory. Tonight the Cowboys face the heavily favored Los Angeles Rams – and though the Cowboys have powerhouse running back Ezekiel Elliott, the Rams have many more weapons at their disposal, on both sides of the ball.

OCEAN'S 8 By David Bianculli

This 2018 heist movie is a distaff spinoff of the Ocean’s 11 franchise, with Sandra Bullock, as Debbie Ocean, planning and leading a daring robbery that is equal parts audacity and revenge. A priceless necklace worn at a charity gala by a glamorous actress (played by glamorous actress Anne Hathaway) is the target, but a lot more is happening here. That includes a female-centered action film, making room for, among others, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Helena Bonha

INFORMER By David Bianculli

SERIES PREMIERE: One of the collaborators on this series is Sam Mendes, which may explain this show’s commanding visual flair. It also has a very tricky structure: Each episode begins with a flashback to a mass shooting at a London coffeehouse, then a scene from a court case related to that shooting, and then – and only then – a narrative about how England’s counter-terrorism unit (the British equivalent of Jack Bauer’s CTU) came to recruit a new informant as it tar

FUTURE MAN By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: Season 2 of this Hulu science-fiction comedy is even more warped than last season – because the future, as affected by this show’s time-traveling heroes, has become even more warped as well. Josh Hutcherson stars as Josh Futturman, a janitor and gamester who is tasked to save the future, but ends up continually altering it instead. Eliza Coupe returns as Tiger – and this season, Seth Rogen makes a brief appearance as well, portraying a character named… S
